Spencer's Day

So, today is actually Brady's birthday. I know I have a ton to catch up on and that I need to tell about Brady's birthday but something more important happened today. Robb has a friend at work who's 7 year old son (Spencer Gooch) has cancer. He is starting a very strong form of Chemo and will lose his hair. A fundraiser was held today to help his family. They had food, games, auctions, and more to raise money. The Jazz Bear and Spencer's favorite player (Wes Matthews) came. They also had a head shaving party. Robb told all his friends about it and said if he raised 100 dollars he would shave his head. He raised over that. So, this is what happened.
This is Robb's before picture.

We went and bought some baked goods, had lunch, and then it was time for Robb to shave his head.
Half way through. All done. Brady was so moved by it, that he decided to contribute his hair also. Here is his before picture. I am glad I took this birthday picture before left our house.
He was so excited and nervous to do it. And, was so happy after he did it.
This is Spencer's dad with Robb and Brady. It turned out to be an awesome experience on Brady's birthday. And, it was a great experience for the whole family. What a lesson we learned today.
This is Robb's after picture. And, the button is my favorite. It says, "Be Brave and shave! I did it for Spencer." I will try to catch up soon, but, I had to share this.

That is a very cool idea. Love the new do. Glad we found your blog. Go Yankees! The good new about A-Rod still not hitting #600 is that I get to see all of his at bats when ESPN cuts over to them. Normally don't get too see too much of the Yankees down here in North Carolina.
